I’m Andrea—a writer, editor and educator based in San Francisco’s East Bay.

I’m an Editor for Brevity Blog—the place to discuss issues related to the writing of literary nonfiction. I teach cnf, essay and how to submit to lit mags on a variety of platforms and have an essay collection in the works.

I’ve got anew class coming up on Craft Talks—Beyond the Book: Writing Companion Essays the Reach New Readers, on October 24th at 2pm EST. More details here.

I write a bi-weekly column, How to Submit Your Writing, about the ins and outs of [ublishing your short work.
And offer a free co-working session called Submit It Now! with the folks at Chill Subs on the first Wednesday of each month. The next session is October 7, 2026. Learn more and register here.

That’s me in a couple paragraphs—dig into the website for more details.
